[Machine] "Do you read this verse: 'And among his descendants were David and Solomon' and in its end 'So follow their guidance'? [Surah Al-An'am 90] He ﷺ said: Your Prophet ﷺ was commanded to follow the guidance of David."  

أحمد:٣٣٨٨حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ مُجَاهِدًا عَنِ السَّجْدَةِ الَّتِي فِي ص فَقَالَ نَعَمْ سَأَلْتُ عَنْهَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ

أَتَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ} وَفِي آخِرِهَا {فَبِهُدَاهُمُ اقْتَدِهْ} [الأنعام 90] قَالَ أُمِرَ نَبِيُّكُمْ ﷺ أَنْ يَقْتَدِيَ بِدَاوُدَ
